Ashley also thanked Swift for casting him in the role, calling it"an experience I will never forget." Fans and activists praised Swift for including a transgender man in her video and for her advocacy work on behalf of the LGBTQ community."The love interest in Taylor Swift’s new Lavender Haze music video is trans model and artist Laith Ashley," Spencer wrote on Twitter"At a time when trans rights are increasingly under attack, this representation is major."
"Taylor Swift hired a trans man of color, Laith Ashley, to star alongside her as her love interest in her new music video for Lavender Haze. This comes at a time when powerful anti-trans forces worldwide are crusading against the very existence of trans people," Mississippi Free Press editor Ashton Pittman wrote.
